Reading too much into things

Because I can't resist temptation, I had to look at the preview for Captain America 31, here. And of course I'm all "can't wait, can't wait!"

Had a thought, though. And I'm sure it's just me seeing what's not there. But anyway...

This title has recently consisted of somewhat-separate storylines, each from a different character's point of view; these sections have been indicated by caption boxes with different coloring. Sharon Carter's POV caption boxes have had a yellow hue, while Winter Soldier's have been plain white.

In the preview, however, we see yellow-tinged caption boxes in the scene where Faust is attempting to brainwash WS, sort of masquerading as WS's own caption boxes. So in this case the yellow is a sign of Faust insinuating himself into someone's thoughts. I'm looking at it online of course, so colors may not be true and it may well be a different shade of yellow from Sharon's own. But now I'm also wondering if it's an additional indicator of just how tightly Faust has had her under his control.
